    Default Book case kit

    Called in at my local extreme IKEA today and got a book case kit they forgot to give me the Allan key to assemble it with any one have a spare?

    Did they include the cornice moulding too? What style is the bookcase?

    I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

    Good excuse to buy a set of Allen Keys to add to your workshop

    Phil,

    I'd suggest you get two allen keys. Cut one so it's straight (cut off the L) and you can stick that in your cordless drill/screwdriver. Set the torque on low, and away you go.

    REAL Ikea shelving units now use a variety of fasteners, preferably in several sizes & shapes, all in the one kit - phillips, posi, star (various), square and hex. I now have a pile of little 'Z' shaped winders with assorted ends - strangely they don't supply posi or phillips drivers.

    Coming along nicely. If you're anything like me, by the time you have it finished, your library will have doubled and you'll have to start another bookcase.

    Gee Ikea's quality seems to have improved greatly since the last time I opened one of their packs of veneer.
    Meanwhile, in the Ikea forest...........
